A word from

The cellar master

Julie Cavil, Krug Cellar Master
The harvest of 2013 gave the House’s oldest plots the conditions they needed to shine. The vibrant, chiselled Chardonnays from plots in the Côte des Blancs, the Sézannais and the Montagne de Reims were particularly revelatory of their terroirs. The 2013 Meuniers from plots in Sainte Gemme brought structure to the blend thanks to their later ripening, while wines from the very same plots, but born from the explosive circumstances of 2012, were selected for their aromatic intensity and expression.

Julie Cavil, Krug cellar master

Krug Rosé 25ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2013. The season began with a seemingly endless winter followed by a rainy and cool spring. Luckily, summer was hot and sunny, although also marked by hailstorms, which took their toll in the vineyards. The wines of the year were complete, expressive and full of flavours.

Krug Rosé 25ème Édition is thus the result of complementing the selected plots’ wines of the year with reserve wines from 4 other years. Reserve wines from the 2008 harvest bring roundness and unctuousness to this Édition of Krug Rosé, while reserve wines from plots in the villages of Ambonnay and Bouzy across different harvest years were chosen for the intensity of their fruit. A red Pinot Noir wine of the year from a very special plot, La Côte Valnon, in Aÿ completed the creation. It is the 25th time this dream has been re-created.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Krug Rosé lends itself to pairing ideas outside the box. For example, when it accompanies very good quality anchovies, a magical encounter occurs. The saltiness of the fish sublimes the fruit aromas and silkiness of the Champagne, turning the anchovies into a velvet sensation.

Krug Rosé can also be enjoyed with foie gras, lamb, game, white meat, venison or even dishes with spices. Krug Rosé is not recommended for desserts, unless they are not sweet at all. Unexpectedly, it best accompanies very savoury dishes.

TASTING NOTES

At first sight, its subtle pale pink colour holds a promise of elegance.

On the nose, aromas of rose hips, cured ham, mulberries, redcurrant, peony, pepper and pink grapefruit.

On the palate, delicate flavours of honey, citrus and dried fruit with a long finish, enhanced by its fine bubbles complete the experience.

Note:

Serving Temperature

The House of Krug recommends that its Champagnes be served between 9°C and 12°C, as colder temperatures limit the expression of their flavours and aromas.

Note:

The Krug Rosé Glass

To design a glass that would allow Krug Rosé’s singularly elegant and nonconformist character to be fully discovered, the House of Krug joined forces, once more, with master glassmaker Riedel.

Note:

The Influence of Time

All Krug champagnes gain in complexity and patina with the passage of time. We recommend storing them at the same temperature as you intend to serve them, between 9°C and 12°C.
